<p>Hi guys, my name is rashi. I'm new in this forum. I've seen people asking about chances of getting into specific colleges and other college application process related topics. I've come here to ask you guys about specific college and my chance of getting into that college. If you can provide me with as many valuable information as possibly I'd be grateful to you. I'm open to any sort of advise/suggestions/warnings as long it's meant to make me aware of it or be knowledgeable about it and not meant to bash me for whatsoever. In short, please be respectful when you share your opinion. Ok so, I want to get into Stony Brook for Undergraduate because I want to become a doctor. I do have really good GPA but a low SAT that is at this point my weakest part of the application. I will list out the positives and negatives of my application that I feel might make a difference in my application to Stony Brook.
Positives:
-have a 94 overall average, high 90's average in math and science
- 4 AP courses (Bio, Gov't, US history, Statistics) and 1 honors course (pre-Calculus) overall (including Senior year), mastery in regents exams
- came to USA 4 years ago and learned English in 3 months
- wrote College Essay on learning English
- Currently volunteering in Stony Brook Medical Center
- Great letters of recommendation
-I'm an Asian, from Bangladesh, so diversity could
be a factor that might make a difference
Negatives
- SAT score of 1590 combined (3 sections)
- took it 4 times already
- bad test taker
- many of my friends already got a response and got accepted, no response from Stony Brook yet, despite the fact that I applied extremely early like early november</p>
<p>I'd like to know from everyone how much chance do you guys think I have to get into Stony Brook. I have a fear that I might get put into wait list, although i hope it doesn't happen. i hope I get accepted. This had been my dream since the freshman and I have been working very hard. I never knew the importance of SAT until my junior year. In fact, I didn't even know what SAT was all about. I tried my best but I was just not a good test taker. Please guys, help me with this. This wait is killing me. I just want to know if I can get in or not. I'd rather know whether I'm getting accepted or not, than to wait till April to hear a bad news from the admissions staff. Please share your opinion/suggestion with me. I promise to respect your opinion, even though you say I can't get in but just tell me whatever you think. If anyone needs any more academic outline such as outline of grades till 9th grade and overall average in each grade or extracullicullar activities outline, please let me know. I will post it in here. </p>
<p>Please please share your opinions with me, especially if you're like me who have had this situation. Share your experience with me. please help me out. thanks in advance for all your time and assistance. I'm truly grateful to you guys</p>
